With Earth Day just around the corner, Goodwill, Serving the People of Southern Los Angeles County (SOLAC) is urging local residents and businesses to “clear out their closets” and donate their gently used items to their nearest Goodwill.
“As you reorganize your home and refresh your wardrobe, give people in your local community a chance to find employment and build their work skills,” states a Goodwill SOLAC press release. “Goodwill’s donation-resale model extends the life of clothing and other goods to earn revenue for Goodwill job-training programs, employment-placement resources and other important services, such as life-skills classes, résumé preparation and financial education. Every donation at Goodwill SOLAC provides on-site and virtual training, access to computers for job-search assistance, employment-placement job training and other community-based services, such as career counseling, English-language training and industry-recognized credentials for anyone facing challenges to finding employment.”
